Share the knowledge. How you can become an ANS Ambassador

Share the knowledge. How you can become an ANS Ambassador
By Dan Wooding, Founder of ASSIST Ministries and the ASSIST News Service
LAKE FOREST, CA (ANS – May 29, 2015) -- English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, orator, essayist and author, Francis Bacon, who served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England, once said, “Knowledge is power,” and this means that when you know about a situation, we can then join millions around the world to pray about it.
You can literally change history and that’s what we want to do through ANS.
In view of this, I am asking those of you, our loyal friends, to come an ANS Ambassador, so you will not be the only one in your family, church or group, who knows about what is going on our world today, but many others can also share in this vital information.
As you know, our unique news service provides material, sent by e-mail several times a day to your in-box, and features hot-off-the-press stories on the persecuted church, world missions, popular culture, and also about inspiring Christians who are make a difference in our world.
They are filed by a group of ANS seasoned journalists, many of whom literally risk their lives to provide these stories from some of the most dangerous parts of our world, and are picked up by global media. I have also travelled the world for many years now bringing stories from hot-spots like North Korea and China, as well as the Middle East.
One well-known subscriber who has enjoyed these stories for several years once said, “If you want to know what is going on around the world and in the Church, you need to read this.”
ANS already has thousands of media subscribers, which include many Christian leaders worldwide, as well as those of you who run a prayer group which commits to pray for persecuted Christians who are regularly featured in this unique news service. But, more than that, any believer who cares, can also avail themselves of you become a special Ambassador for ANS.
Would you take a few minutes to let your friends know that we provide a free news service to anyone who wishes to have this knowledge, so they can pray for these great heroes of the faith, like Asia Bibi, a 50-year-old Pakistani Christian mother-of-five who is languishing on death row for simply standing up for Jesus, and Pastor Saeed Abedini, the joint US-Iranian citizen, who is serving eight years in a violent Iranian prison for being a Christian.
Here are a few things you can do:
* Share with Christian friends at your church, workplace, or in your family why it is important for Christians to know what is happening in “God's World”, and because of that, the ASSIST News Service is offering them a free subscription. You could provide them with a sign-up sheet where they can write their name and e-mail address, and then make a PDF copy and then e-mail it to me at assistnews@aol.com,  and I’ll do the rest. You could also point them to our website – www.assistnews.net  – and there they can sign up themselves, or mail the form to me at ASSIST, PO Box 609, Lake Forest, CA 92609, USA.
* If you are a pastor, could you take a few minutes at one of your services to talk about our news service and possibly have a sign-up sheet at the back of the church where people can fill out their name and e-mail address. Then, once you have some people who would like to receive our news service, just make a PDF copy of the sheet and e-mail it to me at assistnews@aol.com.
* If you run a prayer group at your church, you could also share this opportunity with your prayer partners, and then get them to sign up as per above.
* If you in the media, and would like a free subscription, like so many other outlets around the world, just email me your information and I’ll be glad to add you. (You will find many stories on ANS that you can use.)
* If you have a local Christian newspaper, radio or TV station that you think would benefit by receiving our stories into their in-box, just tell them to contact me at assistnews@aol.com, and I’ll do the rest.
It is important that you let people know that we do not use their e-mail addresses for anything but to send them our stories.
my way of thanking you for your help, I would like you to know that if you are able to get some 20 people, or more, to sign up, just let me know and I’ll be glad to send you a signed copy of my autobiography, “From Tabloid to Truth,” which carries a foreword by Brother Andrew, the author of the best-seller, “God’s Smuggler.” And, don’t forget to include your name and mailing address wherever it may be in the world.
So there you have it. Please prayerfully consider becoming an ANS Ambassador so you can help others realize that “Knowledge is power,” and in so doing, you will be recruiting many more believers to pray for those who need our prayers so desperately.
It is vital that we continue to pray for these, and the many other believers who are praying the ultimate price for their faith in Jesus Christ. They, like you, are true Ambassadors for Christ.
